Question

What are the methods used to control actuators?

Answer 1

Different methods of controlling actuators:

1. Flow control valve by measuring temperature and viscosity

2. Pressure regulators by controlling desired pressure.

3. Constant pressure drop through Fixed orifice.

4. Solenoid operated valve by converting pressure into voltage

5. Check valve gives small back pressure and control pressure

6. Releif valve to release very high pressure without blowing

7. Flow divider valve for diverting flow into different direction.

8. Flow regulating valve to regulate flow as desired as per volumetric flow rate.
